Over the years I've grown almost ever type of flower imaginable, from
orchids to sweet peas, yet my all-time favorite has to be the
unpretentious white Sweet Alyssum. A low ground cover, it's covered
with tiny white flowers all year long that give off one of the most
powerful and sweetest fragrances of any flower. It's great as a
backdrop to other flowers. This picture above is a closeup of a newly
planted transplant. In a month it'll cover more than a square foot
and by the end of summer will form a solid mat that can stretch two
feet in every direction.
